Bone-full KFC nuggets that can chock you to death

A while back, my daughter discovered the concept of “chicken nuggets”. Trying to maintain a healthy balance, we make sure she doesn't have more than 3 to 4 pieces per week. Usually on our eating-out day on the weekend. Her favorite is the STAR shaped ones that Hardee's serve.

Last week, I picked my daughter up from the children's play area in Mall of the Emirates. The area is next to one of the food courts there. She said she was hungry and that she wanted chicken nuggets.

Since there was no Hardee's at that court, I got some nuggets from KFC instead.

While she was on her second piece, my daughter came up to her mother with her mouth open and looking agitated. "mama.. mama.. yucky," she mumbled while pointing at her mouth's full.

We opened her mouth and found a huge piece of chicken bone with a sharp, point edge! Can you believe this? My daughter would've easily chocked on it.

I took a few shots of the thing just to give you some perspective to the size of the bone fragment my 3 year old daughter's almost chocked on.

ThankGod nothing happened to the little one. Alhumdolillah.But didnt you make a huge scene.Sue the pants off de mothas.KFC is crap food anyway, I know I know I get the nuggets scene at home too. The whole MickeyDees over everything else.KFC is now charging for ketchup. How sad is that.I hadnt eaten there for over a year, and that too last in BKK where it tastes so much better.We recently had some guests over and they wanted to eat there. I found the food excreable.

KFC is the worst fast food restaurant in Dubai, period. Anywhere else on the planet and KFC is just bearable, but there... it's almost toxic with its substandard foods, coated in a layer of oil so thick it almost seems like a second skin to the fries...

That happened to me the other day, too. Gone are the days when chicken beaks and claws were effectively ground into a smooth patty form. *sigh* Did you complain? Did they offer you some sort of compensation?

I hear ya. I'm on the cusp of giving some negative publicity to a certain hotel unless they compensate me for 2 bottles of wine that were stolen from the room over 2 weeks ago. What a way to start Ramadan: fighting for booze.
